The Story Behind the Bowl

We Started Cooking
For Doug
​Out of Desperation.

"Doug was on medication and a prescribed diet, yet nothing seemed to help. We were heartbroken. So we started cooking for him ourselves."

— Rebecca & Parker Garrod, Founders

Doug experienced health issues  — inflammation, allergies, kidney stones, excess weight. Vet visit after vet visit. Nothing worked. So out of love, we did the only thing left: we cooked for him. Real food. Whole ingredients. The kind of meals we'd be happy to eat ourselves.

​Within weeks, Doug was off all his medications. Seven years later, he still hasn't needed them. That journey changed everything for us — and it's why Doug's Kitchen exists today. To give your dog exactly what Doug got: food made with real ingredients, real care, and real love.

Nutrient-dense veggies and fruits that support digestion, immunity, and vitality.

Carefully selected grains and seeds for energy and a balanced diet.

Targeted Micro- Nutrients

Added where appropriate to ensure complete and balanced nutrition for every life stage.

Is Fresh Food Right for Your Dog?

Signs Your Dog Could Be
Telling You Something

Dogs cannot tell us when something is off. But they show us. If any of the following sounds familiar, it may be worth taking a closer look at what is in the bowl.

Signal ​1

Chronic itching, hot spots, or recurring ear infections

Skin and ear issues that keep coming back despite treatment are one of the most common signs of a food-related sensitivity. Many dogs improve significantly when common allergens found in processed kibble are removed from their diet.

Signal ​2

Inconsistent or poor stool quality

Loose stools, excessive gas, or unpredictable digestion can point to ingredients your dog is struggling to process. Fresh food is highly digestible, which often means a noticeable improvement within the first few weeks.

Signal ​3

Low energy or a dull, dry coat

A coat that lacks shine and a dog that seems flat or tired despite being otherwise healthy can reflect a gap in nutritional quality. The difference a nutrient-dense, whole-food diet makes is often visible within 30 to 60 days.

Signal ​4

Picky eating or disinterest in meals

Dogs are not naturally picky. A dog that turns its nose up at food is often reacting to the smell, texture, or palatability of heavily processed ingredients. Most dogs take to fresh food immediately and with noticeably more enthusiasm.

Signal ​5

Weight that is hard to manage

Whether your dog needs to lose weight or maintain a healthy condition, fresh food gives you far more control over what your dog is actually eating. No fillers, no hidden starches, just ingredients you can read and adjust.

If two or more of these feel familiar, fresh food is likely worth exploring.

What Dog Parents Are Saying

Real Dogs. Real Results.

Photo of Grace and Taylor, two senior Italian Greyhounds that are eagerly waiting tor their mom Tracey to open their new bag of Doug's Kitchen treats.

I can barely get the bag of Doug's kitchen treats open fast enough. They know exactly what’s inside, and they love them!

A photo of Stella, a black and white doodle, who is waiting for her om to put down her bowl of food that has Doug's Kitchen's standard Superfood Blend as a topper, layered gently on top

Stella can’t get enough of Doug’s Kitchen! We use it as a food topper and it gets her excited for meal time. We had to navigate many gastro issues upon bringing her home and she tolerates this so well. We haven’t had an issue since adding this to her diet and we have seen consistency in her gut health. It makes us feel good knowing she’s getting beneficial and quality ingredients in something she loves.

Photo of Milo, a morkie who is wering his Jurassic Park t-shirt while enjoying his dinner of one of Doug's Kitchen 's special blends

We’re completely satisfied with the food and no longer have issues with eating or not. As he seems to lick the plate even when the food is already gone. Lol

​Thank you kindly for your quick service and attention.

A photo of Rocy, a 15 year old pup that had allergies to a lot of ingredients in standard food but who is now thriving with Doug's Kitchen

Rocky is our 15 year old puppy with a lot of energy. We did an allergy test for him and found out he is quite sensitive to a lot of the ingredients in his vet-prescribed food. We met the lovely people at Doug’s Kitchen who were able to custom make Rocky’s meals based on his list of safe foods from the allergy test. He is thriving and we couldn’t be more grateful!

What Dog Parents Are Saying

Everything You Need to Know
​Before You Order

Is this food complete and balanced for my dog?

Yes. Our recipes are developed using established principles of canine nutrition and are continuously reviewed and refined in collaboration with a certified veterinarian and animal nutrition specialist. We ensure every bowl is both delicious and nutritionally sound.

How is fresh food different from kibble?

Doug's Kitchen Dog Food is prepared in small batches for your dog. Our fresh, gently cooked food uses whole foods, and minimally processed ingredients.  With Doug's Kitchen, what you see is what your dog gets. It requires refrigeration or freezing to stay fresh as it is made with NO PRESERVATIVES.

How much does it cost per day?

It depends on your dog's needs. 
Most families find this comparable to or less than what they spend on vet bills and supplements for dogs on processed food.

My dog has allergies, can you accommodate that?

Absolutely. We can discuss a custom recipe tailored specifically to your dog's needs.
Just reach out and we'll work through it together.​

How do I transition my dog from kibble to Doug's Kitchen?

We recommend a gradual transition over 7–10 days - starting by mixing a small portion of Doug's Kitchen with your current food and slowly increasing the ratio. We'll walk you through the full transition guide when you place your first order. Many families also start with Doug's Kitchen as a topper before making the full switch.

Do you deliver to my area?

We offer local delivery across Brockville and surrounding areas, and we ship across Ontario. If you're unsure whether we reach you, just give us a call at (613) 246-6016 or email us at dougskitchenorders@gmail.com - we'll do our best to make it work.

Can I speak with someone before ordering?​

Absolutely, we encourage it! We're a real family, not a call center. Call us at (613) 246-6016, or email Dougskitchenorders@gmail.com. We love talking to dog parents and will help you figure out the perfect meal plan for your pup.
